Mounting a file system

To mount a common registry file system on an operating system, you must add a MOUNT statement to the BPXPRM xx member in SYS1.PARMLIB.

The MOUNT statement will mount the file system on subsequent IPLs.

BMC recommends that the file system be mounted off a user mount point or the IBM /var mount point. You must create a directory to use as a mount point for the common registry file system. Do not choose an existing directory that is used for some other purpose.

Warning
  • Mounting a file system on an existing directory will make all the existing data inaccessible.
  • If the mount point is the system root, the common registry will not initialize.

BMC has no dependency on the location of this directory. The best location will depend on your site’s configuration and use of the HFS or zFS file system.
